NO THANK YOU

[@JenXing]

The shot at the end where the people are applauding Simbi is so powerful. It speaks to the strange relationship musicians have with their listeners and fans. In the video, Simbi is pouring her soul out. The hurt, the pain, the complexity, all that is being reflected in the mirror back to her. And the audience is just there applauding. Artists share their hurt and their ugly and we applaud their honesty. They make us feel understood and not alone. But we can't do anything to help their pain. At that level of success, fans become almost like a void the artist is crying out into. We just clap while they are still sitting with their emotions, their heaviness. It's an interesting dynamic that many of us will never fully understand. All we can do is show love and let the artist know we hear them. We love you, Simbi. Much Love and Light. P.S. Everyone open the description box to see all of the people credited. This video is like a movie and it took a village, so give some love to all who helped create and bring this experience to life.

What an excellent comment! Great critique and words Joyce. :)

Beautifully explained

[@_Tennille]

Love your comment! ♥️💫

[@joshmo9797]

Very well said. What we as fans/listeners can do is to truly connect with these emotions inside of US. The only thing real artists want is for their art to heal the world. If their art is coming from a place of compassion and truth then it will resonate and heal us, but only if we surrender to it fully. Just like any emotion. In order to move through it and heal we need to open to it and let it move through our energetic system fully. Which is not comfortable especially in the bubblewrapped world we currently live in. But fully feeling feelings is the only way for us to heal. This is what artists who are of truth really want for the world, whether they know it or not.

I don't know why she's so underrated. She's like on par with Kendrick Lamar when it comes to talent. And I'd be dying to hear a collab between the two

[@perspicaciouscritic]

I think it might be down to Little Simz's monotone delivery, which lacks intonation. (If you compare her style to Kendrick Lamar, or Rapsody on the track Power, the difference is clear.) I think if Simz thinks of her voice as an instrument - maybe consider acting lessons to bring out her range - her overall package will be on par with K. Dot.

[@Ballerheiko]

Amen. exactly what i've been thinking since i got into her stuff 3 years ago.

[@ilias4156]

[@johannsimonot]

No twerkin, no b...tches, no armani gucci... no success. The social network kids way of thinkin...Sad but true

[@Atlas_Redux]

@@johannsimonot No, as perspicaciouscritic said, it is most likely due to her monotone delivery. I had that exact same thought myself, as she's been played quite a bit on Norwegian radio lately. Why isn't she using her voice? She sounds unenthusiastic and bland at times. That doesn't work for everyone. Compare that to ... nearly every single other rapper. Rapping is not just about talking. Again, as perspicaciouscritic said, your voice is an instrument as well. She's not using it to the fullest, not even remotely. And no matter how much you like her style with that, that simply does not fly for many. That said, she gets more than enough listens and views on her music and videos.

[@snorkey15]

There's one thing having some of the best bars in the rap game. There's another thing having the best cinematography to go with it. This is art.

[@davidosting3714]

For real, Simbi and Kendrick both got incredible visual art along with easily being among the best rappers, they're both incredible

[@snorkey15]

SERIOUSLY! It's awesome how both Kendrick and Simbi released a music video on the same day as well

[@hugopereira8025]

The best? In Portugal and outside English music there are lots of artists ruling that art. The truth is ir allways depends on the investment behind the scenes and English music is international so you don't have a comparation If you want to compare this was done by One portuguese with a lot less than the investment for this music. He does it all, from producing the music and video to editing it all kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKKspZKKe9xgipo You still think She is the best producer? Kkkk Her investment in 1 video os enough to make 3 or 4 music videos of PZ

I can easily see 20-30 years into the future, documentaries talking about how Little Simz changed the world of rap music for women and in general. It’s an honour witnessing her unfolding as it happens. What a great artist ❤

Agreed!! I'm in my 40's now and I remember when Lauryn Hill came on the scene, the same things were being said about her debut album. The 2 albums Simbi has done this year have been jaw dropping. 🔥❤

Sometimes being at the crossroad isn't always easy and even the people that we run with don't always innerstand because the shimmer blinds their foresight or unable see with clarity through the veils of fear to perpetuate false narratives but we have to follow what the Divine has provided us for us to do. It goes beyond the promises made by people who have been abused and are mentally unstable because everybody follows along with their instability in agreement. It is a trap. Well, their time is up and simultaneously we are awakening in expansion. The momentum is the true power and will be the go to for salvation. .
